Aging: Gradually, collagen and elastin levels naturally decrease, leading to less firm skin.
Weight Loss: Rapid or significant weight loss can leave excess skin that doesn’t retract.
Sun Exposure: UV rays break down collagen and elastin fibers, accelerating skin aging.
Pregnancy: The skin stretches during pregnancy and may not fully return to its original state.
Smoking: Smoking reduces blood flow to the skin, impairing its ability to repair and maintain elasticity.
